Our yard in Cairnlea is right next door to Ardeer, so getting up on your roof to see what is wrong is no big trip. From one slipped tile to a full roof restoration, we inspect first, then give you a clear, written plan.
No Fees. No Obligation. Open 7 Days a Week.
When water is coming through your ceiling, the last thing you want to hear is that the roofer cannot get there for a fortnight. That is one advantage of choosing a business based right next door. Ardeer borders Cairnlea, so for us your roof is just around the corner. We can usually arrange an inspection without much delay and get a proper look at what is happening.
Ardeer is a compact suburb of mostly postwar homes, sitting between Ballarat Road and the Kororoit Creek, with Ardeer station on the Melton line. Lots of Ardeer homes are still under the tiles they were built with, concrete or terracotta, and those roofs have reached the stage where weak points start to show. A few need nothing more than a couple of repairs; plenty are tired enough to justify restoring. Either way, you get a straight answer and photos to back it up.

Ardeer sits on the flat, open ground of Melbourne’s west, and roofs here face a few predictable pressures:
Because these problems develop slowly, many Ardeer owners do not know anything is wrong until there is a stain on the ceiling.
Proximity has a practical upside: if something needs a temporary fix to get through a wet night, we can usually do that and then return with the right materials for the permanent job.
The repairs we carry out most in Ardeer start with finding the leak, which on postwar roofs is just as often a cracked ridge joint or a pinholed valley as a broken tile. From there it might be new tiles to replace cracked concrete or terracotta ones, picked to suit what is already on the roof. It might be ridge work, where crumbling caps are lifted, bedded down on fresh mortar and finished in flexible pointing. Often it is valley and flashing work, swapping holed valley iron for new and refixing flashings that have pulled away from a wall. After wild weather we do storm make-safes so the house stays dry, and we finish many jobs with a gutter clean.
Photos of the fault and the fix are yours to keep.
Give us a ring and describe the symptoms, be it a drip, a tile on the lawn or a ridge that looks crooked. Because Ardeer is next door, we can generally pencil in a visit without a long wait. Up top, we work methodically from the ridge down, checking tiles, pointing, hips, valleys, flashings and gutters, and photographing anything worth your attention.
Back on the ground, you get the short version first, then the detail. A price for each option arrives in writing. No cost, and no obligation.
If our photos show trouble on every slope, with tiles soaking up water, ridges coming apart along their length and damp in more than one room, it makes more sense to deal with the whole roof together than to keep calling us back.
A restoration on an Ardeer home typically runs like this. We wash the roof with high-pressure water until the lichen and grime are gone, change every cracked tile, and rebuild each ridge. Valleys and flashings are fixed. The final stage is three coats, sealer, primer and colour, and plenty of owners here take the opportunity to swap an old brown or red roof for a crisp grey. Next to the price of replacing the roof, it is a small spend.

We are not a franchise sending a stranger from across the city. Ultra Finish is a local, owner-led roofing business on the Cairnlea side of the boundary, and the owner, a roofer for over 25 years, works every job in person.
Being local means quick inspections, quotes in writing that only include what the roof needs, and a roofer close by if you ever have a question after the job. We are fully licensed and insured, we check our own work before calling it done, and we look after your garden, paths and driveway during the work.
